Upcoming Events
by Marvin Johnston 26 Mar '23

26 Mar '23

I plan on attending all three events, so let me know if you need a ride. All three events have an optional BBQ afterwards. Marvin, KE6HTS Sat May 14 - Antennas In The Park Informal and easy on-foot transmitter hunting at Hillcrest Park in Fullerton on Saturday, May 14. Barbecue luncheon too. Details at www.homingin.com/park.html Sat May 20 - This year's On-Foot T-Hunt (Fox Hunt/Transmitter Hunt) will be Saturday May 20th, 2023 at The Morley Field Sports complex in Balboa Park. The regularly scheduled Saturday night hunt is cancelled by the originally scheduled "Hider", KE6PHB, due to this all day event. For those who have not experienced an "On-Foot T-hunt" it is a very good opportunity to bring your "Sniffing Skills" up to a higher level. So make sure you put this on your calendar and come on out for a day of fun + BBQ! See attached announcement for more details. Joe, N6SZO & Joe, KE6PHB Saturday, June 17, 2023 - SARC Swapfest Newlove Picnic Grounds, Orcutt Hill GPS: 34˚ 50’ 40.6 ” N, 120˚ 22’ 42.8 ” Turn off Hwy 101 southbound 1.8 mi. south of Clark Ave., Orcutt. (Just past yellow sign). There is usually a sign at the northbound exit to get to the Newlove Picnic Grounds.

pictures of the local repeater peaks with snow
by Ken Alker 26 Feb '23

26 Feb '23

Santa Ynez Peak and Broadcast Peak were both covered with snow this morning, and the towers were white as could be as if they were also covered in snow (or ice)! Unfortunately, I was unable to take pictures until a couple of hours later so the whiteness had subsided a bit by the time these pictures were taken. My telephoto is not very good quality so the pictures are not very good, but it is still fun to see the peaks, where the K6TZ and WB6OBB repeaters are located, covered in snow. <https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/31dikepzxdv2f9k9oaeqt/h?dl=0&rlkey=hixlk2o8p…> Ken KA6KEN
